An extreme Islamist group banned in more than a dozen countries is using British children as young as 13 to peddle books supporting suicide bombing and jihad. Hizb ut-Tahrir, which wants to establish an Islamic state with Sharia law, has been holding a series of ‘roadshows’ across the country. An undercover reporter who attended a number of the meetings was sold books suggesting suicide strikes are acceptable, and others saying jihad was ‘compulsory’ to spread the message of Islam.

The group allowed a 13-year-old to sell pamphlets comparing Westerners to animals over their ‘filthy promiscuity’ and urging followers to shun British culture. The reporter also saw children as young as ten bowing their heads in prayer and reading from the Koran at meetings – despite Hizb ut-Tahrir’s claim only over-16s can ‘engage’ in its work.

Last night the Government’s new anti-extremism tsar Sara Khan told of her fears that the ‘Islamist extremists’ were recruiting children and students to help spread ‘supremacist ideology’.

Terrorism experts also called on the Government to ban the group for ‘radicalising children’ and spreading the ideology of Islamic State ‘into the heart of England’.

The Daily Mail investigation also found:

A member boasted of having active recruiters at universities including Oxford, University College London and the School of Oriental and African Studies – despite the group being banned from speaking on campuses;

A separate Hizb ut-Tahrir speaker said ‘we need to try to change’ homosexuals;

Devotees are warned that women will be punished for leaving home ‘uncovered’;

Followers, who believe ‘jihad’ should be waged against Israel, back Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn for ‘saying it how it is’ amid the party’s anti-Semitism crisis.

Their objective is to take over this Country bit by bit, and no one in government has the spine to stop them !As one Muslim said-------"We will take over the World through the Bellies of our Women", and in this Country they are succeeding !

Yes, I am not in favor of any sort of theocracy, either. But your criticisms go, not to forms of government, but to culture.

And this quill is where you show either blinkered vision or limited intellect

ISLAM, either religiously OR culturally IS a "form of govt".....Islam is a religious AND political entity, and hence one of the worst forms of govenence there can be.

"when religion and politics ride in the same cart the first things overboard are freedom and safety."

paraphrased some what and I cant remember the original author.

It doesn't have to be. However the bandwidth of influence may be greater with religion in Islamic countries. That is a matter of culture.

For Daniel Boorstin, that is because the developmental progress of Islam is about 600 years behind Christianity. In those early years, certain common themes--eg, iconoclasm--were quite strong in Christianity. Today they have dulled for Christians, but are very current for Muslims.

A cross-tabulation of the two religious cultures in a common slice of time, is inevitably lacking. I don't think that politics and Islam are necessarily, ideologically coterminous.

A 'culture' that wants to impose Islamism onto everybody...

As proclaimed in their guide book...

Fight those who believe not in Allah nor the Last Day, nor hold that forbidden which hath been forbidden by Allah and His Messenger, nor acknowledge the religion of Truth, (even if they are) of the People of the Book, until they pay the Jizya with willing submission, and feel themselves subdued.
